Just had today my rectocele surgery!!!!

Hi Hijadeonagro,

Hope you have had a good Xmas, that's good news that almost is fine.

I'm sure everything will slacken off, try not to worry too much, if I'm right it is less than a fortnight post op so very early days as yet. As for still feeling bulge probably tissue still swollen from the surgery that will eventually go down over the coming weeks.

As the bulgy swelling goes down you should slacken off a little.

I still find at over 9 months post op I have days that I go regularly to toilet every morning and empty properly and feel great, while other days I go a few times throughout the day and never seem to empty properly. It can feel really uncomfortable on these days.

I seem to be more sensitive at the back end and aware more of feeling full, or heavy and bulge when no

Sorry didn't mean to send unfinished.

- aware of feeling full or heavy and bulging when not completely emptying, very uncomfortable.

I'm sure it will all sort itself in time. You need to give it time to heal and allow swelling to go down.

Try not to worry, keep resting and only a couple of very short small walks a day and light pottering about for a little time like making light lunches from next week.

Hope you have a great new year and again let everyone else look after you.

Thanks Phyl, as always you are there listening to us, thanks!

I will continue taking things easy, by the way I asked an appointment for this Friday cos I'm very very itchy down l, let's see if he can prescribe a cream or something... and I will ask also about my fears (specially the little tongue protruding). As for the buldge as you say maybe it's that the area is still swallen, we'll see with the pass of time.

Thanks Phyl. bTW what do you think about the vagina could be too small? I will ask him also for this. Hope he doesn't think I'm a bothering patient 😬

Hugs hon!!!!!

Must admit I have had phases where I thought I had been sewn up too tight, then phases where I thought I would be to wide, but it all sorts itself in time.

It will feel tight until swelling goes down then feel pretty normal. After that stage I felt like it went too wide but then since using estriol and internal walls are thickening up and seems to have filled up the space.

It is so difficult not to be focused all the time on repair. These repairs can be so life changing and tend to take over our e erday life's, but try and distract yourself and focus on enjoying some time resting and spending holidays with family. We lead such busy life's it is good to kick back and catch up on some time for you and your family.

I still find it hard to grt through the day without mentioning my repair. I seem to spend most of my day focusing on how to protect my repair and prevent reprolapse.

I try not to worry about being too slack ot too tight, I now view it as my own designer vag and at the end of the day none of us - even this without repairs - will have the exact same vag, as long as it works !

All similar yet unique. My hubby reckons it stretches out to accommodate necessary size.

Hope this all helps a little, enjoy the winter break and look forward to a new beginning and longer days and warmer weather, you will be so much better by spring.

Take care,

Thanks Phyl! 😘😘😘
